A public place claimed as business

PakTimes

Chandni Chowk، Murree Rd, Block C Chah Sultan, Rawalpindi, Punjab 46000

I believe that PakTimes, a media company that I never heard of, has wrongly claimed this place as their business. This place had already 2800 ratings and they used that to promote their business.

I think this place was originally named Chandni Chowk (actual name of this roundabout) as it can be seen in old reviews of this place.

I tried to edit it. And somehow a new place Chandni Chowk is now created here. Those 2800 ratings belong to the original public place, this round about, not the business PakTimes. This locality is known by the name Chandni Chowk.

If someone can see the history of edits on a place, I believe it was originally named Chandni Chowk and the proof is the comments talking about it and the markets nearby.

I reported PakTimes as spam, tried to rename it, reported it as closed, nothing worked.

Hi @LifeH2O ,

Welcome to Connect and thanks for reaching out to the community! : ]

In this case, I will make sure to check with the details you have provided, as just to be sure, it would seem to be mentioned quite often on the location as shopping outlet/ stores as well, would it be correct? Do feel free to share further details if convenient.

I just wanted to let you know that the current post would be relocated to How-tos, should the category be more suitable for the main subject.

This is a famous roundabout (Chowk) and there are many electric stores nearby. A flyover was built over it 8 - 10 years ago but this is how this place is known. You can also see Chandni Chowk Flyover on top of it. If you can see edit history of PakTimes, i believe it will have the name Chandni Chowk some time ago.

Look at the addresses of nearby stores, they all say they are located on Chandni Chowk. But the Chandni Chowk itself is now replaced with PakTimes.

There are also so many duplicate places created with same or similar names in so many places and I keep reporting them. Duplicates never get removed until and unless they are marked as spam.

And sorry for posting in Idea Exchange, I was infuriated by this vandalism and couldn’t find the right board to post this.
